Rock Band Release & Pricing

[Wootzeh]

That's more than the actual console WTF.

[Neil]

The US got it for £85, we have to pay £180.

That's absolutely ridiculous, luckily I'm not too bothered, I have the money and I've been waiting for half a year now, and I can't import it so I don't have any other options...

Just get the mic and drum kit seperatly, you already have GH3 so you wont need the rock band one

Yeah it doesn't make sense and will confuse loads of people

They'd have to put a huge mark on the box saying "Game not included" and I doubt many parents will even buy fake drum kits and stuff for their kids

[Kardan]

That's more than the actual console WTF.

Considering I have a 360 and Wii and the PS3's are god knows how much, I'm not that bothered...

Still, I'd be happy to get it for much cheaper... Could buy 5 new games instead though... :rolleyes:

And the separate controllers are coming out much later, the separate drums and guitars have only just came out in the US and they've had the game since November.

Plus I actually need a second guitar since I actually have friends that will come over and play a 4 piece band with me

[Kasabian]

I'd rather go out and buy a real drumkit for that price - already have an elec guitar & microphone. Bloody ridiculus prices there, ******* cheeky *****.

[yido]

ill get it

On Play.com its £140 for instruments and game so i'll probably wait now. The annoying thing is it could be out anytime in summer for PS3 so i might have to wait ages

Nobody was looking forward to Rock Band more than me, but £180!? Thats double what the americans paid and more than a 360 core costs.. I have the money but in my opinion, it's too much. £130 with the game would have been fine, day of release buy. £180 though... I'm having a serious think whether its worth it or not.. Its the price of a Wii for god sake.

Most shops will probably do:

RRP: £179.99
Our Price: £139.99

Well hopefully

One of my friends told me they delayed the game agen bcos they thought if it came out at the same time as gta4 it wouldnt sell as well.
Is that true?
And if it is, thats just stupid reli, there completely different genres.

No that's not true. Still May 23rd.
